Chapter 494 Junior Sister, do you recognize her?
"Back so fast? Do you want to take a detour to the school and take a look?" Xuanhe flew over and nudged Luori's arm with his elbow.
"No need." Sunset shrugged. "It's not like we'll never see each other again. The mission is more important."
Xuanhe: "Fine, you little brat! Fine, don't see me then. Younger siblings are cute when they're little, but once they grow up, they can be a real nuisance, like my little devils..."
Sunset retorted, "Don't drag my little sister into this. She's definitely well-behaved and obedient."
"Haven't you seen it before?"
"I read the letter beforehand, and they also sent a photo stone with a picture of my little sister..."
"..."
The two behind were bickering, while the one flying at the front shook his head in disgust and lowered his altitude slightly. Even without using his divine sense, he could clearly see the people and scenery below Songhua Town with his naked eye.
Rong Shu's divine sense habitually extends automatically, and everything within a radius of a thousand meters is under her control.
As he passed through the bustling market, his divine sense suddenly trembled, as if he had caught a faint, yet not entirely unfamiliar, aura.
Rong Shu turned his gaze to investigate, accurately pinpointing the source—
She was a woman walking hurriedly, dressed in a simple white dress with a loose fit that obscured her figure.
A veil covered her head, concealing her face, but under the detection of divine sense, it was ineffective.
The face beneath the curtain was slightly pale and sickly, with a lingering sorrow in its brows and eyes, yet one could still discern that it belonged to a beautiful woman.
"That person... looks somewhat familiar." Rong Shu thought carefully, "...Isn't she the Danxian Sect disciple who was with Huo Yihan the whole time during the Heroes' Gathering?"
"Yan Youwei, the granddaughter of the Grand Elder of the Danxian Sect."
Rong Shu was somewhat surprised to suddenly see Yan Youwei here.
Upon seeing this person, she couldn't help but think of Huo Yihan, whom she had personally killed. She couldn't help but take a few more glances and subconsciously released her divine sense to investigate further: "He has the cultivation of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, but his realm is still somewhat unstable."
"...Yan Youwei's aura is a bit strange, and she's wearing casual clothes, not the Danxian Sect's disciple robes."
"Wait... what is this?! No way?!"
Rong Shu looked on in surprise, his gaze falling on Yan Youwei's lower abdomen.
The divine sense of a cultivator in the Void Refinement stage could penetrate the disguise made of the clothing's own array and see that Yan Youwei's lower abdomen had a very obvious bulge.
Yan Youwei...is she pregnant? It can't be just an upset stomach, can it?
Because Rong Shu's gaze lingered on her for too long, Luo Ri noticed and asked, "Junior Sister, do you know her? Is she a friend of yours?"
Rong Shu came to his senses and shook his head: "They're just from the same year of the Heroes' Assembly as me. I've met them a few times, but we're not close."
"Her name is Yan Youwei. She is a disciple of the second-tier power, Danxian Sect. She is Senior Brother Luo Ri. Where is the border city that Danxian Sect is responsible for guarding?"
Sunset: "Danxian Sect, I remember it happens to be Tianqiao Pass, an ordinary pass under the jurisdiction of Wuqu Pass."
"The border is in dire need of cultivators to guard it, and even more so, alchemists. The Danxian Sect is the sect that specializes in alchemy. In Zhongzhou, apart from the Xiao family, the Danxian Sect has the most authoritative alchemy skills. Even if one's cultivation has not reached the Nascent Soul stage, as long as one's alchemy skills are up to par, one will likely be summoned."
Since the Danxian Sect is stationed at Tianqiao Pass, it is not far from Wuqu Pass.
It's understandable that Yan Youwei, a disciple of the Danxian Sect, would come here.
As for not wearing sect disciple robes... for the sake of convenience during the mission, Rong Shu and his group didn't wear them either.
"Alright, we should speed things up." Once we were out of Songhua Town, Yun Duan urged us on.
Upon receiving the summons, Rong Shu immediately disregarded everything else and focused on getting on his way.
……
Within Songhua Town.
Yan Youwei's expression suddenly changed. She clutched her swollen belly, quickened her pace, and turned into a small alley ahead.
Unable to wait to unlock the door with her key, Yan Youyan flicked her sleeve and immediately slipped into an ordinary house.
boom!
The door was pushed open with a thud, and as soon as Yan Youwei entered the room, she knelt on the floor, clutching her stomach with both hands, her face deathly pale. She could no longer hold back and cried out in pain, "Ugh..."
After an unknown amount of time, the pain gradually subsided, and Yan Youwei struggled to get up from the ground and sit on a stool.
She murmured, "Why...when mortals don't experience this much pain during pregnancy..."
It hurts too much.
She had never suffered such pain before.
This made her want to back down, and she even considered... just getting rid of the child!
But as soon as this thought arose, her slightly protruding belly began to move, as if the 'thing' about to come out was showing her affection.
"The baby... is moving again."
Yan Youwei's thoughts were interrupted, and her heart, which had just hardened, softened inexplicably, as if the 'child's' response had given her an indescribable strength.
"I want to give birth to this child..."
“That’s right, I can’t give up, I want to give birth to it…”
Yan Youwei started talking to herself as if she were possessed, carefully cradling her belly as if it were some rare treasure.
Yes.
This is her treasure.
Therefore, upon discovering her pregnancy, she did not hesitate to leave the Danxian Sect and remained in hiding for many years.
"My child, when will you be born? Your mother is so looking forward to it, so looking forward to it..." As if possessed, Yan Youwei's face revealed a strange tenderness.
His previously unstable late-stage Golden Core cultivation suddenly plummeted to the mid-stage Golden Core.
The lost spiritual energy was all absorbed by the fetus in the womb.
A woman carries a child for ten months.
Yan Youwei, however, was completely unaware...
The strange fetus in her belly, of unknown origin, had been in her womb for ten years.
……
On the other side, Rong Shu took out the jade slip that Duan Yuyan had given her when she participated in the Heroes' Gathering years ago, which contained information about the participants from all walks of life.
His divine sense quickly scanned the area and soon settled on a certain name—
Yan Youwei, from the second-tier Danxian Sect, is a fifth-grade alchemist with a cultivation level of early Nascent Soul stage.
Daoist partner Huo Yihan.
